Some quick stats at ya!
Name: Matthew (Real name Maithius, Gaelic spelling, everyone just calls me matt or by my last name)
Height: 6'1
Weight: 214lbs (yeah slightly overweight, oh well)
From: Nova Scotia, Canada
Sports played: Soccer (10 years), American Football (5 years), Rugby (1 year)
How many years experience with rugby: 1
Position: Flanker or Lock, depends where i'm put.
Theres some basic information for you. as I said, I'm Matt! this is my first post on the forums, so I hope you dont mind a new member
Well, I guess I'll just start off by talking about my Rugby background. Believe or not I was introduced to this sport at a very young age. My grandfather (immigrated here when he was 16) always talked about his past experiences with Rugby back in Ireland when I was a child, Every time I'd visit him he'd always have an ice cold Guiness, and he'd be sitting back watching Rugby, me and him used to go outside and toss the rugby ball around, and he'd teach me the proper way to throw it, so thats what sparked my interest in it. Back to the present day, I'm in grade 9 at high school, freshman year. and I seen that my school had a rugby team, so naturally I was really interested in joining. and ever since then, I love the sport so much, its quickly became my favorite. Rugby to me is just a sense of belonging, no other sport has given me the feel of brotherhood, sportsmanship and just pure love for the game. So with my lack of experience I still continue to play to become even better, my goal by my graduating year is to represent my province for Rugby, and to be the 8-man of our High school squad, but I'll go anywhere the coach puts me to get some playing time . Well I guess thats really all I have to say now, this definitely will not be my last post!
Cheers to ya b'ys,
Matt
